It’s a good point you make.

We’re screwed — until bird flu takes a chunk out of the population and/or forces everyone to isolate again.

The current US administration does not give a shit about the environment. and EVs and solar panels cannot catch on quickly enough. I’m honestly surprised either haven’t been outlawed by our lawmakers yet.

I was wondering who would throw good money after bad.

Remember the episode when 13 of these 48 people ended up in the hospital? That must’ve been the remake — the current measles strains aren’t anything to fuck around with.

“In the US, 20 percent of people with measles are typically hospitalized. Five percent develop pneumonia, and up to 3 in 1,000 die of the infection. In rare cases, measles can cause a fatal disease of the central nervous system called Subacute sclerosing panencephalitis, which develops years after infection. Measles also wipes out immune responses to other infections (a phenomenon known as immune amnesia), making people vulnerable to other infectious diseases.”

For Vance, this is just “otherism”. It’s an old trick — your problems are not something you actually need to take responsibility for — it’s all the fault of the “others” in your country. While migration may be a hot mess, the republicans play the card of “all crime is due to these others”. Pay no attention to the grifters elected in the US currently stealing all your money and data.

Throw every legal curveball. Slow or stop the machine. Arrange demonstrations and organization.

Mostly all I’ve seen so far is dems using this crisis to fundraise. It’s gross.

Occupy Wall Street was a disorganized mess. It really didn’t have much to do with the dems either.

Is Newsweek behind the curve by about two days, here’s what we know…

Tim Apple donating to Trump and posting on Twitter will surely protect Apple.

I do not understand the appeal of Doug Ford. At least with Trump there was a TV show where he pretended to be a successful businessman.

“In Germany, a firewall has long existed preventing mainstream parties from engaging with the far-right Alternative für Deutschland owing to its Nazi origins. But Vance said there was no room for such barriers.”

Is this the ‘populism’ you’re so concerned about?

While Vance is whining about European censorship, his boss in the US is throwing legitimate press organizations out of the White House briefing room and removing any mention of people of color or LGBT people from education and government documentation.

Surprising. I didn’t think this one had much buzz. Also felt like a one season show.

Rosemary differences? (self.gardening)
submitted 4 months ago by reddig33 to c/gardening
 

So I had to pull up some huge rosemary plants in the front yard to have some plumbing work done. I noticed that the rosemary I’ve bought to replace it has completely different leaves. The old plant was more like an evergreen with oily needle-like leaves. The new plant has soft flat leaves but still smells like rosemary.

Are these two plants actually related? Are they both edible? The “evergreen” One was fairly hearty and grew quickly. Will the other variety act the same?

“The local utility says it’s going to need a million gallons of water per day and 150 megawatts of electricity — enough to power 100,000 homes per year. “

I wasn’t sure what they meant with that water usage. Like does the water get recirculated and it’s a one time expense? Or is it a million gallons discharged into a river or sewer ever single day? Is it tainted? Or just evaporates from a cooling tower? Seems like a huge waste.

 

So I’ve got an old Mac I use as a Plex server and I’m considering installing Ubuntu on a DOS-formatted partition I’ve already set aside. What I’m wondering is:

  • Do I just need this one partition, or is it going to need an additional blank partition for VM/Swap?
  • can I install Ubuntu on an external drive and then clone or dd the external install onto the internal partition I’ve set aside?
